Everything about Juvenile Rapper totally explained
Terius Gray (born
March 25,
1975 in
New Orleans,
Louisiana,
United States), known by his
stage name Juvenile, is an
American rapper. At the age of 19, he began recording raps, releasing his debut album
Being Myself in 1995. The album gave name to the southern rap style known as "
bounce". The album was followed by
Solja Rags in 1997; its underground popularity led to the major-label release of
400 Degreez in 1998. However, there came a dispute over who owned the rights to the title of the song, as another New Orleans performer DJ Jubilee claimed that Juvenile's song sounded very similar to a song of his. In January 2005, the
United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans denied the case.
In 1999, capitalizing off Juvenile's popularity off
400 Degreez, a remixed version of
Being Myself and reissue of
Solja Rags were released.
In January 2003, he was arrested in New Orleans on drug charges. The next month, he was sentenced to 75 hours of community service for a fight outside a nightclub in
Miami, Florida from 2001. Juvenile returned to Cash Money in
2003 to release
Juve the Great. It contained the
number-one hit "
Slow Motion" featuring
Soulja Slim, which topped the
Billboard Hot 100 chart on the week of
August 7,
2004, being the first number-one hit for both Juvenile and Slim
In 2005, Juvenile and his UTP crew went on to create the hit song "Nolia Clap", and Juvenile was able to use this as leverage in getting a new deal for himself and UTP at
Atlantic Records. However, Juvenile's
Slidell, Louisiana home was damaged but not destroyed in
Hurricane Katrina near the end of the summer. Thus, he moved to
Atlanta to live until the spring of 2006, when he moved back to
New Orleans.
In 2006, Juvenile's album
Reality Check debuted at number one on the
Billboard 200 chart, being his first number-one album. Production began in May 2005, most of it being done at a
Holiday Inn hotel room in
New Orleans. Its first single was "
Animal", followed by "
Rodeo", "Get Ya Hustle On", "What's Happenin'", and "Way I Be Leanin'" featuring
Mike Jones,
Paul Wall, Skip, and Wacko.
